Refusal Account Closure - Credit Facility Administration

Account: 7000100100080741887 - My account has been in good standing with Edgars. Due to my account having a small balance, I have undertaken to pay my account and close the facility. I called the call center and got a closing balance which was paid in full an hour after balance was issued. I have requested for the account to be closed and confirmation of account closure to be sent to me. I received an sms from RCS advising on 27 November 2020 that I had a balance on my account. I raised a query on the entries reflecting on my account and was advised that there were Club fees (I have not authorised any club activation on my account). I have requested an update of my records to indicate that these fees are being charged without authorisation. Prior to the Call placed from the RCS agent, I have not had any communication relating to Edgars Club, I informed the agent that Edgars have not contacted me on my account whereupon they would have had been advised that their records are incorrect and the matter would have been resolved instead they placed my account under collections agents ( this is highly irregular - primary contact needed to have made by Edgards with their customer - unethical practice), Thereafter from the period November to date, my account remains open, unauthorised fees being charged and I have informed 6 agents about the error in their records, notification was provided to Edgars through the call recordings made between the agents and myself of the errors in the administration of my account and Edgars has had opportunities to correct their database and close my account. Every consultant that had called me had informed me that they are unable to rectify the incorrect information on the account and assist with the closing of my account. I have brought to their attention since August that all call recordings on my account bear evidence of my notification that my account has a zero balance, due to irregular administrative practices my account is being kept open to accrue amounts for malicious collection practices. I have subsequently received an sms indicating that my credit facility has been reduced due to a bad credit profile at Edgars. Please can I have a copy of my credit agreement which indicates that Edgars can refuse closure of my account and that without contacting me and reviewing my account which would have shown a payment bringing my balance to zero and that the credit facility is being used to charge fees that were not authorised and add interest. Please also advise on the date on which system changes were made to my account to add unauthorised club fees, the amounts that have been deducted which I would like refunded to me.

Closing of Edgars Account

I have an Edgars account and recently paid all the outstanding amount in order to close it because of I am not happy with the charges on my card. I made peace with their scam account and just wanted to pay what I owed and close the account but I was told I cannot close it immediately need to come after 7 working days, which I did come 13 December 2020 to close it to my surprise I was told I am owing R119.00 for Edgars card club , Insurance and another stuff I don't know of , I was just told a lot of nonsense . What frustrate me is settled the account why can't they just close it ? I was even told by the consultant at Edgars it wont help me to closing the account because there will be charges even after closing the account then they will take me to lawyers for arrears cause i would have told myself the account is closed while there were monthly charges every month.

Can Edgars manager explain to me what is it that needed to be done to close that damn account of yours ?
I was not paying for a house for Gods sake it is just an account what do I need to do to close the account ?
I am so disappointed of how much you rob poor people of their hard earned money just like that , You have scammed me for so many years what more do you want from me?
I have changes every month about R400 which i did not understand till today.
I just want to close the account please

Settlement

I have an account with Edgars that was settled on the 20th of August 2020 based on the settlement value received from their consultants via the sms. Now I received messages and phone calls that I owe 1700 and my account has been handed over. I asked consultants several times to investigate how come I owe whereas the account has been settled but nothing happened instead you will get phone calls everyday from different consultants and you need to repeat your story to each of them. I told them I am not going to pay that because the account is settled, now they hand me over.

Fraud on Account

I received a statement from Edgars and i was shocked to see that I owed money on my account as we didn't buy anything because we have been trying to close this account for a while. On inspection of the account I noticed that there are now suddenly a Cell C Airtime Subscription on my account off which is not mine. I don't need to buy airtime from Edgars or any one for that matter as my wife and I have Vodacom Contract phones.
I have tried in vein to phone Edgars and sent mail after mail with no response or assistance. Only receive ticket number after ticket number. I refuse to pay this bill and it needs to be resolved. I will go to the extreme to get this resolved, even if I have to lay a fraud charge against them.

Payments on Closed account

I Closed my Account at Edgars Uitenhage after a long struggle of trying to close it.After I did it in shop and they assured me that my account is defnitely closed I still get reminders of outstanding payments.When I enquired I was told that it is for cellphone insurance that I cancelled more than 3 years ago as well as for the Edgars club which I also cancelled long ago.I was on the phone for more than an hour without any success and it is still expected of me to pay for something that is not my fault.This actually constitutes fraud because i am not aware of any transaction or agreements that I made with them after my stuff was cancelled.I am CarolAnn Christoffel.My last payment was on 20201101 an amount of R178. Why do I have to pay more money for an account that is closed.My husband.s account was closed on the same day as mine and he does not have any problems or reminders.
I hope you can assist me.

7000100100212420806

I've been calling Edgar's for 6 months now requesting for assistance with settling my account and was referred to RCS then after to Limbro thereafter Norman attorneys and neither of these people can find my account, I then called the NCR and I was advised that I should ask for a prescribed letter as this account has been inactive for more than 5years now. I spoke to a few consultants (Asanda, Nosiphiwo, Cindy...the list goes on and on) from the RCS who promised to send me this prescribed letter for my account,I even went and extra mile by providing the voice recordings of the consultants promising to send me this confirmation and nothing still. I have never dealt with such an unprofessional company to such an extent. I've suffered calling into a call center that cannot assist me....

Please help me get my prescribed letter from Edgar's!!!

re. Query Reference no. 19050903142/go My earlier telcon with your accounts consultant refers. I discovered that I have been billed for 'Mobile Content' since 2016 or from whichever date I was billed; this was unauthorized and against the spirit of the Consumer Act.
This 'Mobile Content' fee should be cancelled with immediate effect and all charges reversed WITH INTEREST & refunded to me.
This is unacceptable and very 'underhanded' behavior from a corporate & 'trustworthy' company like Edgars.
Your urgent response awaited within 5 working days from this email, alternatively, will have to escalate the situation accordingly.

Paid Up Edgars Account reflecting negatively on ITC

My Account Number was settled in 2018 at Edgars Rosebank and i closed the account. to my surprise recently i applied for a credit facility only to be informed i'm listed on ITC by Edgars. I contacted their customer care line which reffered me to the store, once at the Festival Mall store they couldn't pick up my account details and reffered me to RCS and customer careline again on 23 November 2020. i was referred to Nimbo whilst at the store, they couldn't pick up my account number although they state my account is closed but cannot send me Paid up letter. this is reflecting negatively on my credit score and i want edgars to take accountability and responsibility for ruining my credit status incorrectly. No one seems to know how to resolve this issue because Nimbo said my account is overpaid with R23,00 so i don't owe edgars any monies. I'm at my wits ends with this query as i don't know where else to resort to to resolve ammicably

Unauthorised billing - Edgars

My name is Khomotso and my account number is 7000100100192711174.

My account in July 2020 was R100. I complained at Edgars in Kolonade about this balance. I was told that I have an airtime contract which was suprising because I never authorised this transaction. I do not even have the sim card which they are talking about.

I requested recordings of this airtime contract. To this day I am still waiting for it. I was told the subscription will be cancelled.

My balance is currently R700. When I enquired about my earlier request to cancel the airtime subscription today the 19 November 2020, the consultants gave me excuses about recordings and that they will call mw back.

Edgars is ripping customers off. Please assist.

Settlement letter

Good day..

Had or rather still mention that I have a pending account with Edgar's that I believe it was settled as per my personal and their knowledge.

Called their call centre to request for the settlement letter just before the end of September in this year still. The amount was given from their accounts department. on the 30th of September 2020,I made the total payment of the given discount. From there, I then asked for the settlement letter to declare that the account was closed or done paid. Information received was to wait for 20 working days for them to issue the document from the date of the payment.

Today the 14th of September 2020.I still do not have the letter as per their offices promised to deliver. Numerous phone calls were made. mails were sent to their different departments for following up after so many days or weeks of delays. nothing positive was told to me other than mentioning that the account was not settled as there is still an amount due to the value of + - R1200.I WONDERD OF WHY??? DO THEY HAVE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT REQUESTS IF THEY CAN NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR ACCOUNTS.

It is extremely exhausting and devastating to be going back and forth with people who can not at all give you a detailed clarity of the circumstance other than mentioning the problem existing due to COVID-19.

THIS WAS THE SHITTEST EXPERIENCE I RECEIVED FROM EDGARS EVER SINCE I HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH CREDITORS!!!

Wouldn't at all have any confidence to encourage no one in my closed of furthest vicinity to do purchasing or credited by this company ever.

Just a piece of document seems to be complicated to be obtained from their department.
The companies staff and management is COMPLETLY AN IDENTICAL BUNCH AS I WAS HOPING TO RECEIVE AN EXLANATORY CALL OF THIS WHOLE MESS !!!

I am a loyal customer of Edgars for 30 years. i am on pension and my account is most of the time in credit. suddenly Edgars started phoning me every day to say i am debt and owe them such and such amount, every time another amount. i went to our local branch just to find out we suddenly have a cellphone subscription that we know nothing about. i have numerice reference numbers of my visits to the branch trying to resolve this. they told me to com in and listen to a recorded conversation where i admit to a subscription. i went to the store and was waiting for the recording. They told me their is no recording available. They promise to refund me in 10 days time. i still waiting and barring every days harassment on my phone. What to do now?

Klientediens

Goeie Middag CEO Edcon/Edgars,
Sedert ongeveer 12/09/2020 het ek redelik gereeld ler epos kontak probeer maak, nafat ek besef het dat ek vir ten minste 3 maande geen state ontvang het nie. My navraag het ook enkele vrae gehad en n instruksie om klublidmaatskap te staak. Op dieselfde dag moes ek ook verskeie oproepe maak, alvorens ek by die regte oproepsentrum uitgekom het, maar is steeds nie gehelp nie. 'n Dag of so later het ek die uitstaande state ontvang, maar geen antwoorde en terugvoer is verskaf op my vrae / versoek. Sporadies het ek dit weer opgevolg, geen terugvoer... Vandag weer oproepsentrum geskakel, agtergekom my saldo het gestyg, maar die stelsel was glo af, daarom, geen verdere inligting - ek moet maar weer skakel, is gese. Die persoon had geen idee wat rondom my e-posse gebeur nie ek kon my ook nie verwys na die korrekte mense nie. Die nuwe saldo, nadat die rekening reeds 3 dae gelede ten volle vereffen is, het bewys dat my versoek ge-ignoreer is, gedateer 12/09. Daar was ook SMS-se betrokke, waarvoor die persoon verskoning aangebied het, maar ek twyfel of hy weet waar dit vandaan kom en hy het aanvaar dat die SMS-se en my e-posse n direkte verband het, wat nie 100% korrek is nie. Oor 3 dae is dit nou n maand reeds aan die gang, geen terugvoer steeds...
Dit dui vir my op die geen respek wat Edgars vir sy kliente het en bevestig dat Edgars vergeet het waaroor klientediens als gaan, terwyl sonder gelukkige kliente, daar geen Edgars meer sal wees. Dit sluit aan by die patetiese winkel-ervaring wat ek/ons middel September by u Kollonade winkel gehad het, toe loop ons maar...
Ek sou graag wou he dat ek spoedig, so gou moontlik telefonies gekontak word, synde e-pos nie gereken word nie.
Baie dankie

Account

I am Edgars customer with account (7000100100020443016 )and pay my through debit order on the 25th of each month, during the month of August Edgars change the date without consulting me to the 4 September.I called their call center on the 15th September and the gentleman I spoke to promised me that they will change the debit order date to the 25th but there wont be on for the month of September 25 because there is one that that went through on the 4th and the next will be only in September 25.To my surprise there was debit order on the 25th of September for double the amount.on the 28th of September I then sent email to Edgars complaints department and Patrick from Admin called me back and promised that they will refund me with the overcharged amount but until today they have not done the refund.I find Edgars not be trustworthy and over promise and under deliver.

Account Number 7000100100175706837
I have paid this account on the 1st June 2020. The store told me what the settlement amount is and I paid this amount with the request that this account must be closed. I also asked that all other extras for instance funeral policy, be cancelled with immediate effect. From there on I still receive monthly accounts where they add fees on. I have visited the stores in person, I have sent emails and made phone calls to complain, to no avail. Why do I have to battle like this.....is the staff incompetent.
